JRebirth Application Framework 0.7.6 is released

I’m pleased to inform you that we have released JRebirth 0.7.6.
It brings some threading improvements and add a default JavaFX preloader with some basic API enhancement.
You should migrate to this new version immediately.

Version Policy Update

Please note that JRebirth Version Numbering will change for the new version.
We will remove the leading “0” that denotes an unstable library whereas JRebirth is now production-ready.
Moreover with the new upcoming Java 8 that will give new features to advanced developers and some enterprise that have just migrated to Java 7; a branching-model is required (like many libraries does).

So the current branch will shift from 0.7.7 to 7.7.0
This branch will be compatible with Java 7 (and is the continuation of 0.7.6 branch)

And a new branch will be created in the early of 2014 : 8.0.0This branch will be compatible only with Java 8 (lambdas & method references …)

So let’s work on 7.7.0 future version !
Don’t hesitate to contact us on our mailing list if you need something !
